ABSOLUTELY USELESS AND WORTH LESS DISTRO GIVEN - LINSPIRE - THE SHIT GOOD-FOR-NOTHING DISTRO WONT EVEN INSTALL TO THE HARD AND WONT LET ME USE CLICK AND RUN!


Man, i seriously want to know who is giving u advice on the distros - most people in linux world hate lispire - because it is , well , windows :p

Please give something more "useful" like Slackware, FreeBSD and stuff like that - not "mummy hold my hand" stuff like Linspire..

Perhaps you should go through previous months DVDs and find one that suits your needs.

Meanwhile, I suggest you give others a chance to try out Linux. Not everyone is a Linux expert, and Linspire is perhaps the best way of getting hard core windows users to try Linux. If you are a true Linux fan you would appreciate the efforts of companies such as Linspire to make Linux as user friendly as Windows.

Great! But Lispire?Not a neat choice! How about giving Sun Solaris 10? And dude, i haven't got my DVD, what r you guys doing? I mailed u ages ago:-( please give more Game-Wallpapers. Can u guys give us PlayStation 2 and XBox Game Demos? Burnt in ISO image format, Like Linux Distrubutions? And for god's sake check the DVD before burning it. Nuff' Said

Oh, i agree that my response was heated, with the caps and all...

But, u know that most of the distros u have given on previous DVDs are outdated - example ubuntu and freebsd. I agree that u cant keep on giving the same distros as and when newer version is released.. But, please, linspire is a bad choice. Even raj14 agrees, as will most linux users.

Not everyone is a linux expert, but there are distros which are much more linux-ish than linspire. The company isnt trying to get people to switch to linux - they are giving the windows UI an alternate kernel, with some artwork thrown in. When a linspire user faces a challenge, something like, say, getting internet to work on some other distro, he will fail majorly, thanks to linspire's hand-holding , and hence will stick to linspire, which as i keep on saying, is essentially windows. Introduction to linux ? BAH! :p

Anyway, i only request you to give better distros in May and June, as june is my last month of subsription, and after that i wont be renewing, as my 12th std is coming and studies are getting heavy. Cant always read digit, keeping it hidden in my pysics book, right? ;)

I bought the May issue just for the Linspire Live but was very disappointed to know that the iso image was corrupted and even wasted 3 CDs before doing a md5 checksum.
I was considering for an annual subscription to a comp mag but now shall have to try out PCquest or probably CHIP????
Any suggestion?

Guys, I'm sorry to say this, but there are trojan horses on some of the programs which comes with the DVD. Thanks to AVG, I managed to detect them and clean them.

I understand your deadlines and tight schedules, but just think of all the others who are unaware of the problem.

One of the trojan horse i detected comes with one of the desktop themes. It is hidden within in the installation package.

I'll try to get more info... Thnks
